As Plain As Day

Trump is so good at generating scandals, it's easy for some obvious things to get missed, so I just wanted to note this one:

  1. July 2017 - Congress votes to impose sanctions on Russia in response to Russian hacking of the 2016 election, among other things.  The bill passed the House by a vote of 419-3.  It passed the Senate by a vote of 98-2.
  2. January 29, 2018 - Trump's hand-picked CIA Director, Mike Pompeo, says he fully expects Russia to try to interfere with the 2018 elections.
  3. January 29, 2018 - Trump announces he won't impose any new sanctions on Russia, despite the new law.
How much more obvious does it need to be?  And this is just what is known publicly.  You have to imagine Robert Mueller has found a lot of stuff more damning than this.  And this is pretty damn damning.
